I see "animal testing" as a blessing and a curse. It has definitely advanced medical research which have been beneficial to man. But it is also a curse because we are subjecting living beings, against their will, all types of experimental treatment that is morally and ethically repugnant.

The progression of a person compromising his or her ethics or morality by assuring themselves it's for the betterment of mankind, while in essence, torturing animals, is a dilemma.

  The dilemma is profound... I am not sure what medical products I would be willing to give up to stop animal testing, but it seems like there has to be a more humane way to treat the animals that are used as test subjects...

    Scientists are starting to use lawyers for tests instead of lab rats. There are more lawyers than there are rats, they don't get attached to them and there are some things a rat just wouldn't do.

  I suggest we use liberals for testing. This could work for everything but tests on the brain since they don't have one.

  There was a televised town meeting held in Seattle years ago about that topic. Both sides had their doctors. The stop animal testing side's doctors stated that animal testing now is setting research back because what's good for a rabbit is not good or bad for a person.
  
  About those bragging about eating meat, you have a four times greater chance of getting colon cancer than I do!!
  
  I haven't ate red meat in 30 years. I am 60 years old, pass as 40, have the same belt size I did in high school.
